DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse hi
In mobile-solarpower the Goal Zero is listed as #3, but, verbiage indicates my favorite. Do the numbers represent ranking? Thanks
i gotta say Will i really love your enthusiasm on these different units, every since i first found you on youtube your smarts and enthusiasm is what has kept me here, and i really appreciate your honesty. i'm 72, and have never understood electricity, power systems, etc. and even though i don't understand you thoroughly, i still get you better than anyone else on y/t, love your channel, and please keep on keepin on.
Can't agree more!
I found Will through Enigmatic Fanatic.... I feel the same "Mr.Waynes". Very well stated! I appreciate your YT channel as I am just beginning my "Van Life" journey. THANK-YOU Sooooo much Will🥰😍❤!!!!!
Im a woman I absolutely agree with what you said he is really good explaining.
You should design your own portable kickass generator and market it. Kickstarter?
I seen a lot of youtubers reviewing this jackery, but I didn't watch them because I knew you'll review it and I trust your opinion more, thx Will👍
I feel the same!
When I found out about the 1000 . I had you in mind. You give this units to a honest test . Thank you for your time.
Love your honesty!! I see “Paid Promotion” and then you are like “Nope, don’t buy this.” Haha, you’re awesome!! 😎
How about running a refrigerator, that's the most important thing about living off the grid not electronic toys.
Kelly PBR you can
Man, I'm never going to buy any electrical stuff without consulting your channel first.
yea thankfully saw this video was about to get a jackery 1000 for my camper van, the ecoflow looks neat
176 watts is garbage don't buy! Lol
Someone tell me why they put such garbage charge controllers on these things
The moment jackery regrets sending you a unit 😂
Well that should give them a kick to up their game, so it is a good thing. This criticism is good for them, and ultimately good for us if they could fix the negatives and lower the price.
I think he made a good case for the Jackery too. Customer support and portability are pretty big selling points in and of themselves.
Also, the separate video he has of the EcoFlow Delta does not make it look... stable. If the insane charge and discharge rates he mentions are achieved only by noisily cramming as much cooling air through it as possible and shutting down the unit after strenous use, then I think I'd rather take the slow-charging but stable and quiet Jackery.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Just got mine yesterday, used toaster, coffee pot, bullet blender, and my laptop. All worked great!! So far so good
I’d take the Jackery for $1000 if they included two of there 100w solar panels
goalzero & jackery are popular but they are a tad overpriced and underpowered
This young man should go and get done a DNA test and I already know his results - He is somehow related to Albert Einstein
Ethics level of Einstein too
Who?
You could have your own company making your own powerstations Will ;)
You'd have alot of people buying it i bet
When I first heard about the Jackery 1000, I couldn't find specs on it, but since the website mentioned only hooking up two 100 watt panels, I suspected it might have a slow charge rate. Bummer. I was considering getting one. Still might since I like the size and weight, but will have to give it some thought.
Wow, so it seems that we've moved well beyond the Inergy products? Bummer - I bought a Kodiak when you first reviewed it, and it's worked well during the two short-term power outages we've experienced since I purchased it, but I'm now tempted to upgrade based on your more recent product reviews. My biggest hesitation is the same as it was for digital cameras - it doesn't seem to matter what/when you buy, there will soon be a "better" option.
There will always be a better option in 6 months;) don't get suckered in..if your Kodiak is working stick with it. If not may want to sell it sooner than later. The older it is the less it will likely be worth .
Let me lnow when you want to sell it.
Keep what you got unless you need more power
The longer you wait, Blythe bigger, better and cheaper stuff will become.
is the energy solar powered generator worth the $$$$...does it do everything it said it would
@@martaborden It's worked so far, but it would be nice to have more electrical power available during power outages to run more stuff. Not necessary though, so I don't plan on doing so any time soon. I'm now considering a stationary system instead.
I got this for $849 on sale. I think it's totally worth it at that price.
🏭 🦶🔥
Keeping the manufacturers feet against the fire is a full time job Will!
I’m a bluetti fanboy. The best quality batteries, excellent solar charge rate, just a fine unit overall. Only complaint with bluetti is there is no percentage readout , only segmented battery icon.
great info
Hi!
Whoa, what a pleasant surprise lol
You are absolutely correct about price. Not worth it at $1000 , $900 or $800. I would rather go with the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 from Costco, but I would definitely consider it at $700. Great review!
I was waiting for this review before I buy it.
Very solid video! That was super informative, thank you Will.
I take it at this point there will be no further van life style videos correct? I must admit I do miss those and I'd love to see how some of these batteries could work within a converted van like the one you had.
I do miss that content, but I am glad you are more secure/stable both in where you live and the decisions you've made in your life overall.
Keep up the killer work! =]
thanks for the unbiased review Will. It would be cool if Battle Born entered the Solar Generator market with quality, dependable components in their box to specs recommended by you...something similar to the Titan with lot's of expandability in both batteries and solar panels.
Agreed!!
The barrel jack for the dedicated charger probably has a bypass in it to switch to that jack and disconnect the other input when a plug is plugged into it. Just like our radios of old.... Batteries to run it unless you plug in a power pack. The power pack bypassed the battery input.... :)
Finally a real review of this product!
I use the Jackery 500 with a 150w HQST panel on the roof in my sheep barn a few hundred feet away from any power outlet. Running three 30 inch LED shop lights pulling a total of 70watts. Even thought this setup works for me it is a slow recharge.
The Jackery 1000 interest me because of the MPPT controller it's said to have. After your review, I'm not so sure now. But like you said if there were a code discount of a couple hundred dollars maybe I'd look at it again. Thanks much Will.
The discount code will take off $200
I was waiting for the Will Prowse perspective on this unit. Thanks Will.
At the start of the video UA-cam notified me this was a paid promotion. Looking at the video it doesn't actually look like a promotion 😉. Thanks for being honest with us 👍🏻
What makes you think he's honest? I stopped watching it when I saw he got paid for it!!
I’m staying with my goal zero 1400 because I can recharge it from below 20% to 100% in 3 hour with their 25 amp fast charger from goal zero.
Jason M I’m confident I’ll get ten years out of it because I recharge it daily when the battery 🔋 level is around 60%. According to Goal Zero it can be completely discharge 500 time before the batteries will retain about 80% of it charge. I bought my Goal Zero to off set the gas consumption of my Honda EU2200i and the both together are a beautiful combination. I have stayed off grad for two week straight with my Honda and Goal Zero using only one Gallon of gas.
I wasn't going to even consider buying this one until you reviewed it.
I am glad that you FINALLY came out with your thoughts on the E1000. I am not gonna lie, I was pretty pumped about picking one up. And it's funny you should mention that it should be priced at around $700, because from what I was told Amazon should have a 20% off on release day (03/13) knocking off $200. *shrugs* meh we'll see if I still pick one up.
I'm waiting to buy one, thought the release day was the 18th.
@@thomasbarlow3973 Oh my bad! I just looked and yes you are correct! It's the 18th and not the 13th. Sorry everyone.
Hi, I like the way you simulate the suppliers specifications. It's simply the best way to do a review. Great!
As more and more power boxes are reaching the markets. I would like to see their lifetime. Apart from battery decay. I think the first decaying parts will be the internal ventilators. Having mechanical moving parts and just suckling in dust. Which is a common thing when eg carrying in a truck bed.
Please in your next reviews, also have a look at these components, filters etc. It would be a positive selling point when they are well protected and/or easy to replace.
Keep going on. You're showing a great deal of information. Helping many of us in our decisions to buy the product which best suits us.
When is the screwdriver review of the Jackery coming? You know we love to see the guts spilling all over the work bench.
I almost bought one of those
TEAR DOWN, TEAR DOWN, TEAR DOWN!!!! :)
Still love my kodiak. Better charge time too
Just saw Lion Energy Safari UT1300 for $699 delivered from Costco! Ends 3/22/2020
You are the best Will. I would like you to be building the rocketship I am on one day my friend.
Love your videos! I have a 2 of the Jackery 100w panels, each panel gives me around 80W separately. When I plug them both in via the Jackery 2 panel adapter, I only get a max of about 120w, I would have expected like 160/150w! Does this make sense? Also, I noticed your unit has a lag, mine did too - this means you have one of the 1st batches and there is a recall due a potential problem with the AC unit, the lag has been fix. I received a new unit.
Will, are you going to review the portable suitcase solar panels that are coming out everywhere? The soft cloth covered kinds. I want to know how long they can last. Would be great for carrying around and sitting up in my windshield as a sun cover.
Really enjoyed the comparisons and your opinion on each units. Any possibility of torture test like reliability and durability? Would be a decent video. Me personally reliability is important plus it's money well spent when it's durable plus good customer service/warranty. A unit that's fragile isn't great with no customer support is a risky investment. Like the video with the inergy Apex knob failing off was very eye opening and hilarious
Hobo tech said these are a cheaper type of battery with a shorter recharge life at full capacity that is why they are lighter. I’m disappointed that the solar charge rate is low again. Maybe this type of battery can’t take a high charge rate
What is your honest opinion of a patriot solar charge controller I have a chance to get one that has 3000 Max for around $700 in the unit supposed to be complete overall I believe I'm getting a good deal honestly like your videos and I love your honest opinion about products I don't know if you've ever review them but if you could please just let me know if they're okay units cuz you could be my first one and I'm going to use it to do 12 by 16 tiny house kind of you know shed conversion in the beginning
Will, you’re my hero. I just wish I knew what the heck you are talking about. I’ll keep watching. Maybe it will sink in at some point. You undoubtedly have the most knowledge of anyone out there. I have a Patriot 1800 solar generator. Have you done any tests on them.
I am waiting for Battle Born to come out with a solar generator or I would buy a Maxoak now.
I like how the Jackery box says "SINCE 2012" that's only 8 years, lol. That's pretty good for a business nowadays but personally I'd wait longer before advertising it. Darn, Now I forget what I was going to ask...
Steve H Haha, yeah, I seriously saw a business the other day put “EST. 2018” in their logo. Seriously?? Your business still has diapers on!
I purchased one and I am very pleased. It came while I was receiving emergency surgery in the hospital. I wanted the Bluetti, however due to physical limitations I believed it would be too heavy. My friend barrowed it and tested the new Jakery solar panels and also recharged it off his car's generator with my Bestec inverter. Everything worked as it should. Despite informing him about the more powerful Bluetti's he was already sold on the Jakery. He purchased one as well. His wife says the Jackery is heavy enough for her to carry and did not want the Bluetti.
I just want to say thank you, Will, for your videos. I am nearing completion on a small home solar system and your videos were key to helping me get everything done correctly. I appreciate your knowledge and guidance.
Thanks Ian 😊
for Nickel Manganese Cobalt battery it's ok
My take away from most of your videos Will is that most of these products aren't that great and have problems in one way or another. Is there anything that ticks all the boxes?
i was waiting and so glad you finally tested/reviewed this model. i would not buy the jackery 1000 for those reasons you mentioned but especially because of the 'delayed" readings. that is a mistake on jackery's part. i mean, why would any manufacturer think that a delayed (long delay) readout is okay. when you have other models without this drawback, then this is unacceptable. and the slow charging, when other manuf's are faster, is just unacceptable to me. everyone wants past charging. make a "switch" mechanism and offer both slow and fast charging. let the user decide how they want to care for these devices.
john_lm0 yeah what’s up with that bs? 20 second delay! I’d be ashamed
Great review, so nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to electricity. Thumbs up!
Nice Will Love your videos! =Cosmo
*Love your honesty backed up with facts* Thank you Will!
That big fat Jackery is worthless and they used their previous good smaller units as leverage to drive more sales like all companies try to capitalize off of some good things previous models did . They are just trying to make more money so we all shouldn't sugar coat this fact.....rather than focusing on creating a product with true value for the consumer.
Its way overpriced for what it does which is pathetic.... so it is a horrible value for what it does and their techs know this...but upper management I am sure just tells them to produce something to keep costs low and put it out for sale...and then uneducated consumers are buying something way overpriced in this fat waste of money unit...which translates to a rip off compared to others available out right now.
I wish ppl outside of this video wouldn't refer to these things as "solar generators" , Its like what's in the box? a sun going super nova?
Will... Is everything ok...I'm sure I am not the only one a little concerned as to where you are...
If you trip the circuit how do you reset the circuit? Can the battery be replaced? Is this unit fused and if so what kind of fuses does it use?
Junkery...
Gotta LOVE Jackery! Great review. I have the Jackery 240 best investment I ever made. This Explorer 1000 is a game changer!
Awesome stuff, very knowledgeable .great explanations and reviews. If you could please let me know what you would buy for a cabin that requires 3- 4 lights 7- 10 watts each and a tv (40 inch LCD and receiver for roughly 5-6 hrs per night for just the scatter weekend so I don't have to run the noisy generator. I would really appreciate you advise. Something that charges pretty quick.
Hi Will, have you any plans to take a look over the 166wh Beaudens Portable Power Generator? I only need a small unit for camping and to my inexperienced eye it looks interesting and would be interested in your opinion.
I came here after seeing the Jackery's live conference, especially since they didn't add you to their closing comments. I guess Jackery's feelings were hurt by your sobering review. LOL. Keep up the good work dude!
Jackery makes an 880/1000 that goes on sale for $779
The Ecoflow is $1400. The jackery is $1000 but should be $800 with the 20% off coupon that hobotech said he'll have on his channel in a week or so. For that price difference, wouldn't you rather have the Jackery?
Deltaflow has sales too. I'm using MSRP for comparison. And hobotechs coupon is same coupon everyone gets on Amazon. And 400 bucks more and you get nearly double the output! Incredible. I bought my ecoflow for 900 bucks from a sale.
Do you recommend a travel friendly solar panel system and portable battery system that can handle a ninja foodi pressure cooker/air fryer ect. That runs about 1400 watts? Love your videos, thank you!
Just what I need to know and what I thought it will be. The ecoflow is the one to get for me as it appears in 2 or 3 years, there will be Major change in term of "Energy" ( Power) supply. As long as it last for 2 years, it is well worth the money and in most cases, people will have more than one Units of the solar power systems anyway.
It will be great if you can have review on the Portable Solar panel that can be used with different type of generators ( systems). Yeti seems to have a lot of problem( complications) with the solar or 12v charging.
I didn't understand shit but just towards the end, I got it: The Jackery isn't that good.
Yeah, it's interesting because I have heard so many places that it was. Interesting
I'm sure it's a default to favor the AC input since it is more reliable and a constant compared to solar
Will, I love your videos. Is they're an issue with the Jackery 500? I bought it several months ago. I no longer see your review for the Jackery 500.
This could be a dumb question but could you build one better in maybe a milk crate for less money?
Sure
@@WillProwse I WOULD BUY ONE, would probably even pick it up where it would NOT have to be shipped LOL , electrical ignoramus here !
I have the RockPals 300W generator, bought it for $240 on Amazon special event. I keep it plugged into the wall most of the time and use it to charge cell phones, tablets and a Coleman Portable Cooler until the cooling mechanism burned out, the fan stopped working. I use it more than I originally planned on it's use. Just thought I would mention this.
I've been using the Jackery 500 for some time now - and I really like it. I just found out about Jackery 1000. I'm glad you have one already. Your assessment is spot on as usual and has me now wondering if I should by the Jackery 1000. On their web site it was pre-sale status only.
@@BT-dl8kq I've not put a heavy enough load on the Jackery 500 to have the fan come on. Good question. I should put something close to the max load (500 watts) and hear the fan. If I do that I'll come back here and update this response. Off hand I can't imagine a fan noise that would be too bad. A lot of these little fans that run on 12Vdc are like what you have in a desktop PC.
@@BT-dl8kq To use a pressure cooker or waffle maker you would need the big boy - Jackery 1000 like in this video. The Jackery 500 is too small. I'm still trying to justify another grand to buy the Jackery 1000. If I hadn't bought the 500 when I did and saw the Jackery 1000 I would definitely have one of those now.
I thought you didn’t like the ecoflow delta?
Prowse what are you doing for lockdown? What wouldnyou domifnyou were living van life or in your rev for lockdown?
I am studying
Anyone else get an email of these units regarding AC output failure on early models after long time use? I have one from the first batch, my friend received an email, I didn't so I asked a question on social media for more details and JackeryUSA blocked me!
Could you do a review of the zero breeze portable air conditioner? I want it for my camper van, to run off of solar. But I want to know if it uses low enough of energy, to be possible
JUST BOUGHT, July 2020: Hooking my jackery 1000 to two Jackery 100W solar panels I get about 130 watt showing on the 1000 display hummm... I emailed Jackery on this (as they dont answer the phone EVER) and tech support emailed back statingthe Parallel cable takes away power and I would not get 200W anyway from their panels ...Also I charged the 1000 from 30% (out of the box) to 100% in 4-5 hours using solar then house 110V...Im not techy like this guy (I like) but it did seem fast to me.
Hey Will, great review, got my Jackery 1000 for $800, thanks to Tom at Hobotec
Greetings from Belgium, thank you again Will.
Slow charge rate killed it for me also. Still an 18W Type-C? Ugh. And the 30V input limit for solar is totally unacceptable for a unit this expensive and with this kind of capacity. Same ugly case that's a pain to stack. Has Jackery never heard of the concept of a retractable handle? Pass.
Nice BATTERY...expensive too.
Question, could you run an RV refrigerator on this while traveling instead of using propane? How would you plug into AC without breaking anything (backfeeding)? How would you suggest safely wiring it in? Would you consider doing a video on this topic?
Eli Tuber you can run a fridge of this depending on the size (if it’s around 1.5 to perhaps 4 cubic feet).
I have been waiting for you to check this unit out. Thank you!
I am watching y our videos for ling time and I do learn a lot. Still, when it comes to this electrical/power station stuff I only understand blaaaaaaa. I am looking for a Power bank that researches phone, laptop and other USB stuff, and would not like to spend to much money. What what you recommend for a person not knowing what they do LOL
Never wanted to have kids but damn if I did I'd be proud to have WIll as a son. Of course he would be a huge asset to any technically oriented business. One sharp mind.
Used to say that about Cole Robinson at Snake Diet but since he is into drinking piss, I have to move Will up to the top of the adoption list.
I always have time for my Jackery. I don't care how long it takes.
Great job Will . Thank you.
Thank you so should which one is better in your opinion between Bluetti and EcoFlow if we don't factor the Cycle degration (800 to 60% on EcoFlow)? Thanks
Of you had only had 1 solar panel of 120w and A low budget but wanted Max output, for your first camper...what would you recommand? Thanks!
Jackery us so expensive, Diy might be a good option
Diy is always a good option
VANquished I have to disagree. Larger power systems will be better as DIY but smaller ones, not always so. For $1000-$1300 you have a nearly complete systems. For $950, you have a 1.2kwh battery and you have to spend hundreds if not over a thousand more for tools, wires, and components
@@AaronGeller on my DIY system I can replace any critical component failure in a couple days. You can't do that with most of these. So IMO a DIY is always a good option, notice I didn't say always the best option. I have the Bluetti 1500WH and a generic 280WH unit as backups for my DIY Tesla based system. I am not knocking them at all I just feel a DIY system is always a good option to at least evaluate.
For your diy solar generator can I use 150 amp or 200 amp circuit breaker? I couldn't find a 170 amp one.
What wattage panel can you safely use to charge these ? For example can you use a 200 or 320 watt panel to charge the jackets or similar power stations?
Which Power station wold you Recommend , that has the biggest charge cycle life?
I live in EU.
I get your comparison for a couple hundred more but its releasing at (7:45) 799.00 now what are your thoughts? It has more power then most out there at that price from what I see.
This is the second review of this battery system I've seen. The other was on VANCITY VAN LIFE and the unit he pulled out of the box was at the same state of charge 32%. Interesting.
Lithium-Ion battery's preferred long term storage is around 33%. The unit can sit on the shelf for years at that state of charge with minimal degradation.
@@flavablame I learn something almost every day. Thank you!
It looks like they raised the price of the EcoFlow Delta to $1400.
I noticed that too. Makes the Jackery look a tad better for the money, especially if it's discounted at launch.
@@rgbii2 I checked the other ones listed in Will's page and it looks like ALL of them have raised their prices recently.
Summer’s coming,tariffs, greed your choice
I love my little one
Great video as always!
One thing i would really like you to do is to build a 48 volt system with pouch packed LiFePo4-cells. How to efficiently connect them together, BMS and stuff. Those are the cheapest cells i've seen so far. It would be super interesting! Thanks!
Think this system self charging electric bike battery???

That would make a fabulous video and lots of folks would watch the video. Nothing like on UA-cam now.
Thanks, your channel is great.
you need to do Noise tests, its very important for when you are using it when you sleep next to it. Also you did not mention that the Bluetti can not work when under 0 degrees Celsius that is very important. Bluetti's can not be charged by 12v & the customer service is shocking. Jackery's input is lacking and charge is slow, but still trumps the others in terms of a small setup. Jackery for small, Titan for Big. Horses for Courses. Also no Black Friday deals in the Uk for EcoFlow. Very Poor. Bluetti are trying to sell off their 120 w panels, but the EB 150 + 200w is only a £100 saving? Another disappointment. Jackery is 20% and 25% Off.
